This year, the big event will feature more breweries than ever, welcoming the best from all corners of Virginia, all of whom will be offering tastings and specials throughout the afternoon. Meanwhile, artists from around the country will set up booths packed with concert posters, art prints, t-shirts and more, all available for purchase directly from the artists. To tie it all together, Screens ‘n’ Suds once again debuts its annual beer-inspired art print series, the sales of which benefit the Central Virginia Chapter of MS Society and the National Parkinson Foundation. A raffle and silent auction featuring posters, framed art, music, tickets, and loads of gift certificates and beer and music schwag will also benefit this year’s charities, and sales of Screens ‘n’ Suds merchandise and donations at the door will go directly to MS Society.

Artists displaying at the Screens ‘n’ Suds event include Crazy Redbeard, Itty Bitty Press, Plastic Flame Press, Ryan Kerrigan, Team 8 Press, Tripp Shealy, and more to be announced. For the first time, bike lovers can join in the fun, as Screens ‘n’ Spokes, the Suds’ older sister organization, will be showing for the first time in Richmond.

Artists in this year’s Screens ‘n’ Suds series are The Bungaloo, Scott Campbell, Doe-Eyed Design, DWITT, Brian Ewing, Justin Helton (Status Serigraph), Fred Hosman (Hosco Press), Alan Hynes, Iron Canvas Studio, Itty Bitty Press, Erick Montes, Mike Munter, Plastic Flame Press, Brandon Otto, Ashley Phipps, Tim Ripley, Tripp, Jason Taylor, Team 8 Press, Steve Tenebrini (Squad 19), and Clint Wilson.

Screens ‘n’ Suds began in 2009 as a collaboration between Brian Gearing, Sam Verrill and Ric Hersh. After being turned down by two different venues in town, Brian’s idea for a small, start-up poster convention was given new life when a friend suggested the Capital Ale House Music Hall in downtown Richmond. It only made sense to tie beer into the event, and with Sam’s blessing, Screens ‘n’ Suds was born. Since the inaugural event, S’n’S has raised over $15,000 for MS Society and other charities, and its list of partnering breweries and artists has grown from 15 to over 35, coming from all over the country, from Berkeley, CA to Omaha, NE, to just across the river on Manchester Island. Partnering with Jacob Brunow and Stephen Tuzeneu, the craft beer managers at Brown Distributing, has allowed Screens ‘n’ Suds to grow into a multi-event beer and art juggernaut in Richmond, and they hope to expand into other cities in 2012.

A couple of people have already asked, and yes, we do have more room at the event if anyone is interested in setting up a table. Email me at thegiggallery at yahoo dot com. Thanks!
